About the song

Although it's named "remix" this song is actually a re-recording of the 1978 original. The Police toyed with this song a lot. They played the normal fast version for a few years before experimenting with a much slower tempo. In May 1981 they jammed at Surrey Sound Studios with the plan to record a b-side for an upcoming single.

Lyrics

Sleep lay behind me like a broken ocean
Strange waking dreams before my eyes unfold
You lay there sleeping like an open doorway
I stepped outside myself and felt so cold

Take a look at my new toy
It'll blow your head in two, oh boy

Truth hits everybody
Truth hits everyone
Oh, oh, oh
Truth hits everybody
Truth hits everyone
Truth hits everybody
Truth hits everyone

I thought about it and my dream was broken
I clutch at images like dying breath
And I don't want to make a fuss about it
The only certain thing in life is death
